The move, described by four people involved in the effort, requires thousands of Facebook employees to reconfigure how WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger function at their most basic levels. While all three services will continue operating as stand-alone apps, their underlying messaging infrastructure will be unified, the people said. Facebook is still in the … [Read more...] about Zuckerberg Plans to Integrate WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger

WhatsApp Nougat users, the time has come, the day is here — well, it was here a couple of days ago, but it was the weekend and I was busy sweeping the floors of my new apartment, so I had to delay coverage... priorities y'know. Anyway, for all of you who have been lamenting the poor notification situation on Nougat, cried over the fact that you only see the most recent message making the whole "notification" thing completely useless, things are looking out. In version 2.17.13 beta (grab it from APK Mirror), WhatsApp has properly implemented notifications on Android 7.0 and 7.1 Nougat devices. This involves showing all the messages from one conversation (person or group) and not just the latest message, proper Quick Reply with your typed text not disappearing when you get a new message from the same conversation, and correct notification unbundling behavior of conversations and expansion of multiple messages. This also fixes the notifications you get … [Read more...] about WhatsApp’s notifications now work properly on Android 7.0 and 7.1 Nougat

By the time police arrived in the hamlet of Rainpada on July 1, 2018, the village council office was the scene of a massacre. The bright blue shutters on the windows were splintered and the door was kicked in. Inside, files were strewn across the floor and the light green walls were splashed with blood. Five men were dead, beaten to death with fists, feet, sticks, and office furniture wielded by a raging mob. The dead men—four in their late forties and one whose age remains unknown—had arrived in Rainpada earlier that day, at around 9 am, on a bus from Solapur, some 300 miles south, to attend a Sunday market. According to their families and police, all of them were members of a Nath Panthi Davari Gosavi tribe, a nomadic group that roams India’s western Maharashtra state, surviving mostly on alms. The men sat under a tree not far from where they had gotten off the bus and, as they ate, handed a biscuit to a young girl. Six weeks later, Hemant Patil, the assistant … [Read more...] about How WhatsApp Fuels Fake News and Violence in India

Virtually the "entire" Allo team has reportedly moved on to Android Messages, and division lead Anit Fulay jumped ship for Facebook in January. There hasn't been much work on Allo since the company said it was "pausing" development earlier in 2018. Moreover, it's relatively unpopular by internet standards. There were less than 50 million users of April. While that sounds like a lot, it pales in comparison to the roughly 1.5 billion WhatsApp users at the end of 2017 -- and Facebook Messenger wasn't far behind at with 1.3 billion that fall.We've asked Google for comment. It previously objected to the rumor of classic Hangouts shutting down, but the core of that story was ultimately proven true -- Google is moving Hangouts users to another app. And if this report is correct, the company might delay the Allo shutdown news due to the "backlash" from the Hangouts story. Even if Allo survives, though, it's evident that Google is consolidating its messaging plans. … [Read more...] about Google may shut down its Allo messaging app ‘soon’

Ever sent something you wished you hadn’t on Facebook Messenger? Whether it’s an embarrassing message or an even more embarrassing photo, you’ll soon have up to 10 minutes in which to erase it from the internet forever. While it’s true that you can already delete messages from Messenger, they only disappear from your own device and not from those who receive it. The update that will allow you to remove a message from your Messenger chats is “coming soon,” Facebook said this week. Confirmation of the upcoming feature is contained in the release notes accompanying the latest update for Facebook’s standalone messaging app. The final paragraph reads: “Coming soon: Remove a message from a chat thread after it’s been sent. If you accidentally send the wrong photo, incorrect information or message the wrong thread, you can easily correct it by removing the message within ten minutes of sending it.” Facebook’s other messaging … [Read more...] about Facebook Messenger will soon let you delete sent messages
